The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of increasing dietary supplementation of crushed sunflower seed (CSS) in the diet of dairy cows on the fatty acid (FA) composition of phospholipids and sphingomyelin in milk, and on mammary transcription of genes that are important for sphingomyelin de novo synthesis. Four groups of 6 cows received diets supplemented with CSS at 0% (control), or 5, 10, or 15% of dry matter for a 5-wk experimental period. Milk samples and mammary biopsies were collected at the end of the experiment. Phospholipid concentration in milk fat decreased linearly with CSS supplementation. Sphingomyelin concentration in milk fat was unaffected by CSS supplementation. Daily yield of phospholipids decreased linearly with CSS supplementation. Daily yield of sphingomyelin was not significantly affected. The CSS supplementation linearly increased the proportion of monounsaturated FA in milk phospholipids. The major isomer incorporated into phospholipids was C18:1 (n-9 cis), which showed a linear increase with CSS supplementation. The C22:0 proportion in sphingomyelin increased linearly with CSS supplementation and constituted between 15.2 to 25.4% of total FA in sphingomyelin. However, CSS supplementation linearly decreased C23:0 sphingomyelin. Mammary transcription of serine palmitoyl transferase, long chain subunit 1 and subunit 2, the rate-limiting enzymes in ceramide synthesis, showed a linear decrease with increasing CSS supplementation. In conclusion, the data showed that dietary supplementation of CSS linearly increased the proportion of unsaturated FA and monounsaturated FA in milk phospholipids with no effect on phospholipid concentration. In addition, CSS supplementation linearly decreased n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid proportion in sphingomyelin. The results further showed that mammary transcription of important genes for sphingomyelin de novo synthesis is regulated by lipid supplementation.

Retreatability of calcium silicate-based sealers based on micro-computed tomographic evaluation - A systematic review.
Saudi Dent J

Division of Endodontics, Department of Restorative Dental Science, College of Dentistry, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Introduction: Endodontic retreatment procedures with calcium silicate-based sealers (CSS) have been receiving greater credibility in clinically challenging situations. The objective of this systematic review was to analyze the published studies for the retrievability of CSS in comparison to resin-based sealers evaluated using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) in terms of the volume of the residual root canal filling materials, time taken, efficacy of the solvent, and different systems used during the retreatment procedure.
Methods: The study protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews and conducted in adherence to PRISMA 2020 checklist.

Background Standardized methods to measure and describe Crohn disease strictures at CT enterography are needed to guide clinical decision making and for use in therapeutic studies. Purpose To assess the reliability of CT enterography features to describe Crohn disease strictures and their correlation with stricture severity. Materials and Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 43 adult patients with symptomatic terminal ileal Crohn disease strictures who underwent standard-of-care CT enterography at a tertiary care center at the Cleveland Clinic between January 2008 and August 2016.

Background: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is the consequence of venous valve reflux and/or venous flow obstruction and resulting venous hypertension in the lower extremities. The aim of this prospective supplement registry study was to evaluate the efficacy of compression stockings or Pycnogenol in controlling symptoms and edema in CVI and their efficacy on microcirculatory parameters.
Methods: Two comparable groups of 30 subjects with CVI were observed for 4 months.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to categorize subgroups of patients with primary osteoarthritis of the hip joint based on their imaging and lab results, disease progression, and treatment responses.
- Researchers reanalyzed data from two double-blind, randomized clinical trials examining the effects of various treatments, including corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, and bisphosphonates, over an 8-year period involving 700 patients.
- Multiple clinical, laboratory, radiological, and therapeutic response indicators were assessed and analyzed using hierarchical agglomerative clustering to identify distinct patient profiles or endophenotypes for better-targeted therapies.
